At last it is half term– it has been a very eventful half
term even without including the Ofsted and I know everyone at school is looking
forward to the break – we will certainly have to get our energy reserves built
up for the next half term which includes all the excitement of Christmas (I do
not like mentioning that word in October). It was a long day for everyone in
school yesterday because of the parent consultations but I have had lots of
positive feedback from my teachers and all the parents I spoke to appeared to
be happy with the work we are doing so that is always reassuring for us.
We have seen a change in the weather recently and I think we
can say that autumn is definitely upon us so this is a good time to remind
everyone that all KS2 will need to be in winter uniform after half term. Some
of the children do not like the ties and tend to try to wear them more casually
so it would be a great help to us if you could ensure that they do up the top
button of their shirt and have the tie pulled up to the collar before they
leave home. It does make a difference when all the children are smartly
presented. We are also having an increasing amount of children coming to school
without their PE kit which is not acceptable. PE kits should be brought to
school on a Monday and taken home on a Friday so can you please make sure that
your child brings their PE kit to school when they come back after the half
term.
After the holiday the Year 6 will be selling poppies in the
classrooms all week so if you would like your child to have one, please make
sure they come to school with a donation - we at school all think that the
Royal British Legion charity is a most worthwhile one to support. We will also
be having our annual Bonfire Night with the Rotary Club on November 9th.
The winner of the poster competition was presented with their prize this
morning (this year the winner was Roxy in Year 3). If you have not purchased your tickets yet
make sure you get them quickly – it is always a great night and not one you would
want to miss.
All that is left for me to do now is to wish you a great
half term – I hope you all manage to get some rest and relaxation and I look
forward to seeing you all again on Monday 4th November.
